FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) – Police are calling the death of a man found in the backyard of a home in the 1700-block of High Street suspicious.

Police arrived on the scene shortly after 12:30 p.m. Thursday after a neighbor called about a body in a backyard. Medics said the victim was declared dead at the scene.

Another tenant in the house where the man lived saw him in the yard earlier in the morning, but didn’t call police for about two hours because they said it’s normal to find the man passed out, according to police.

After speaking with several neighbors, police said they believe there was a fight involving the deceased that turned physical on Wednesday night.

“[Neighbors] are reporting to us what they heard last night, what they saw last night. As a result, we expanded the crime scene and identified a second location,” Raquel Foster, a spokesperson for the Fort Wayne Police Department, said.

Foster said the fight was not reported to the police Wednesday night. The extended crime scene included the alley behind the backyard where the body was found.

Police have not released descriptions of a suspect or suspects but said they are getting a lot of information from neighbors.

“Whoever did this or whatever happened to him, I hope they find out and it gets solved quick,” Kim Fields, who lives across the street, said. “It’s really upsetting. It’s not normal for this neighborhood at all.”
